Video Not Working? Fix It Now

This video starts in the middle of my own hydraulic horror show as I attempt to reassemble a 1964 Massey Ferguson 175 that I've split to remove and rebuild the hydraulic pump. I reinstall the hydraulic lift pump and auxiliary hydraulic pump. I adjust and reinstall the top cover. I put everything else back on successfully and run the bush hog to test everything. If you want to know more about what lead up to this video, you can view the thread I started about the problem on the Yesterday's Tractor's Forum at: https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/threads/1965-massey-175-3-point-hitch-problems.1758770/ The Tractor Forums thread where I found the tip originally shared by Big Dean about the 3/8" for setting up the top cover instead of the special service tool MFN-970 and anything that'll hold the arm extended instead of wedge tool MFN-163: https://www.tractorforum.com/threads/165-special-tooling.30911/ The reproduction special service tools can be found from VL Churchill & Co. LTD on their website at: https://vlchurchill.co.uk/ The carbide scraper that I mention is Lisle Tools 81810: https://www.lislecorp.com/specialty-tools/scrapers/81810-58-carbide-scraper-5 Big Dean's website archived on archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20060212052406/http://hometown.aol.com:80/daustin62/Bigdeantipindex.html Here's a Tractor By Net thread about Big Dean from a year after his death: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/big-deans-massey-ferguson-website.233093/ The channels and videos that I mention in the video: @farmgpa How-To: Repair or Replacement of Massey Ferguson Brakes - Massey MF 165 Brake Replacement https://youtu.be/KpXpoi9O1BU?si=m-ST87j78iiJrrQ6 @DanGingell Massey Ferguson Hydraulic Repair, Easy Step-by-Step Tutorial https://youtu.be/AmUc1AKWi9w?si=7wjEpBk5tMUGD_4e @ClarenceFudWeasel Hydraulic Horrors Series and Top Cover Adjustment https://youtu.be/K1bHr5DJ73o?si=pOM9VwT1vD1XCWej https://youtu.be/a60toU_IUWo?si=xgcHleHibufZgRve https://youtu.be/Ci4zV-uyIEQ?si=qmDl5Ts768BYhZDh https://youtu.be/ZUcN9SOeBd4?si=gMoBjZqCjd-6oRfg @BundyBearsShed Massey Ferguson 135 Multipower (16 Videos) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8J1SVzcr2oSWtxB6FSFo2OlrdX6Zsomy Massey Ferguson 135 6 Speed Restoration (82 Videos) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8J1SVzcr2oQrmWA3JFO9VoVluM2AdXzo Video Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 06:58 Picking Up the Half that I Dropped 07:36 Lisle Tools Carbide Scraper 07:58 Scraping and Cleaning the Housing 08:17 What year is this?
